Hey, I saw Granpappy digging around those bee hives out by his 'beverage generation plant'. I have a feeling he saw the benefits of the candle & is wanting to make a lot more from the beeswax. Sure glad it's cooled down; otherwise, he'd be swelled up with from the stings.

ya know, if he starts now, he might be able to make enough candles for my cake next year...

Calculating .... one candle per day times 365 -- my gosh!!!! you are older than I thought. I thought you were just a kid.

I moved the Front Porch back to the Folklore/Mythology forum to reconnect it to the cabin and the Back Porch. Hope this does not confuse anyone -- Granpappy and I had a heck of a time carrying the front porch over to the cabin.

We have had a gorgeous autumn with fantastic colors all over the valley. The colors have been vibrant and longest lasting for years.

It is over now. Monday was the last day of our beautiful, colorful trees, clear blue sky, and warm lazy afternoons bringing us joy. Monday got up to a comfortable 79, then we had a ferocious wind storm Wednesday night, lasting through Thursday. Today it is very chilly and all the beautiful leaves are gone.
